Orchestral Studies for Percussion

34.50 €

As is well known, Dmitri Shostakovich’s orchestral works include a rich array of percussion instruments. In some works, the tympani, bass drum, snare drum, tam-tam, xylophone and glockenspiel serve to lend support not only to Shostakovich’s scherzo movements – which often contain a sharpness bordering on the grotesque – but to the frequently roaring violence of his revolutionary music as well. For percussionists, Shostakovich’s orchestral works are as beloved as they are redoubtable. Excerpts from the great symphonies are often required playing at auditions.

The new edition “Orchestral Studies for Percussionists,” is a compendium of selected excerpts from the Symphonies and other works.
